Cisco’s WAAS Mobile 3.4 does away with the need for any proprietary hardware at each end of the connection. Reviewers found both the server and client components extremely easy to install and deploy, the management facilities particularly good and the results from WAN acceleration performance tests show it is just as fast as many more costly hardware solutions. Cisco’s WAAS Mobile looks an ideal choice for businesses that want their mobile and remote workers to enjoy LAN like performance but don’t want to be locked in to proprietary appliance based solutions.
Cisco Systems Inc. has introduced a video surveillance solution based on the Cisco Integrated Services Router (ISR) platform. The solution converges physical security over an IP network and can also work with non-IP video surveillance equipment to enable a migration to IP-enabled video surveillance. The solution will allow the large installed base of over 4 million Cisco ISR and new customers to deploy video surveillance as part of their existing infrastructure, while helping to reduce the total cost of ownership, improve operational flexibility, combine physical and network security, and enhance performance and reliability. The Cisco Video Surveillance solution is especially important in branch office deployments such as retail, banking and government where technical expertise is not readily available.
